Swan Valley Dressage Association is committed to the training and development of its members, whatever their dressage goals may be.

We believe that by providing access to great WA judges, great venues, mentoring and a supportive social environment that we can assist in helping our members achieve their personal riding goals as well as promoting the entire sport of Dressage in WA. As such we will concentrate solely on Training and Development Days for 2019 with no competitions scheduled in an effort to give our members as much opportunity to train towards their dressage goals as possible.

All members are encouraged to help and support each other and the judges we invite to our training days to focus on the development of the individual, constructive feedback and building a strong foundation for our members to passionately strive towards their personal goals in this discipline.

This fee is paid at the start of the year and on completion of your helper duty during the year at one of our Training and development days or show you will be refunded the $50.00. If you would like to forfeit the $50.00 or do not attend your allocated duty during the year the $50.00 is will be paid to a Helper covering this duty.

It is lots of fun, you get to meet other members, and it is not hard to do the jobs required to run our training days.
